My fam from up there call me crazy for driving up there from DC to see them. The city grid layout is easier to navigate to me.

I wouldn't want to live in NYC with so few Ados either. It's the same thing to be honest.
ain’t even no black people in LA
and why would anyone wanna be surrounded by a bunch of Mexicans/Central Americans with anti-blackness

The lack of awareness in this post...

New York is currently around 21% black and in rapid decline, and that black population of 21% is heavily weighted by Brooklyn (27% black) and The Bronx (31% black)...
Queens is 17% black. Manhattan is 13% black. Staten Island is 10% black...
There is no secret that the black population of New York is in rapid decline, so it's funny when you hear you guys says there's no black folk in LA like the vast majority of New York, 79%, are non-black people...
So there's plenty of places someone can live in NY and not be around black folk...
We definitely not about to play this game like there's no anti-blackness in New York City. Are you serious, nikka?
The Westside of South Central LA (29.5 mi², pop 438k) is almost equivalent in size to Staten Island (58.5 mi², pop 496k), and is 37% black. So for perspective, consider the Westside of South Central basically SI but it's over 3½ times blacker than SI...
South Central LA as a whole has 820,000 residents and is 27% black. So 40% larger than SI, 2.7 times as black...
There's a bubble in the middle of Los Angeles that is essentially the cultural essence of the city for black folk, that encompasses a ton of adjoining areas, including the entirety of South Central, Culver City, Inglewood, Hawthorne, Gardena, Carson, Compton, North Long Beach, Paramount; that has a population of approximately 1.6 million people and has approximately 400,500 black folk...
That ~1.6 million bubble is the same population roughly as Manhattan but is 25% black, while Manhattan, which is economically the most important borough, is only 13% black...
I didn't even map out Central LA or portions of the SGV/SFV that have black people. Those 1.6 million bubble is a larger city by itself than Philly, would be the 6th largest US city by itself if it was its own city; don't tell me an area that is essentially the 6th largest city in the US, and is basically the size of Manhattan, and is around 25% black, has no black people...
Tell me you've never experienced Los Angeles, without telling me you've never experienced Los Angeles, brehs
...As to why someone like myself would choose LA over NY 10/10 times. Better weather, more scenic, and literally everything you can do in NY you can do in LA...
Stamford and Bridgeport. I told the coli when i first joined I lived in homes, the hood, and projects. Southfield Village and Father Panik

I briefly wanted to move to NYC. During Kid Cudi's mixtape era. That was when I was doing part time photography. wanted to do hip hop journalism. thank god, I didn't would have been chasing shadows of a profession that would be irrelevant today. 
but to be NYC, Philly and San Fran-Oakland are the goat metropolitan

Fair enough, there's wack shyt in every city though. Ain't gotta worry about random buck-50s in LA...I don't have to worry about getting my ass kicked in NY because I wore a Mariners hat
Bruh I fukk with NY. It's not LA, though. South Central, The South Bay, The Westside, The Valley, Mid-City, Central LA, there's just a plethora of dope spots within all of these areas. Amazing food, amazing women, I can get any kind of shopping I want, can go hiking, can hit the beach, pick up games, adult entertainment, etc...Harlem
Brooklyn
The Bronx
GOAT American city just off the women alone
Im doing anything I can do in NY, in a better climate. Really LA and NY are the same places overall, just in different locations...
This nikka called Philly and The Bay GOAT metros. Neither are even close to LA...I briefly wanted to move to NYC. During Kid Cudi's mixtape era.

You still live in Sac now, right? I'm taking Sac 10/10 over The Bay unless you got a time machine to Panther-era Oakland. Sac is shytting on the overrated ass Bay...
And I'm taking Pittsburgh over Philly...
All jokes aside, DC is a GOAT metro, so is Chicagoland, and Boston too...
Lies. Everything in LA closes round 2am. Too many Mexicans. I like Black women and Latinas from the Caribbean. LA has a shortage of that. LA is not walkable you have to drive everywhere. There's really nothing to see unless you like driving from one boujee ass brunch spot to another boujee ass club spot. Nothing like spending a vacation driving around....Wow how entertaining
I'm a Flawda breh beaches don't impress me. Definitely not a beach in LA. Hiking I'll give you that. I'd rather hike up subway stairs though while I'm seamlessly navigating thru the city with a metrocard that cost me $33 for a week.
Maybe I can see a celebrity tho in LA
NYC in the fall>>>>>>>>LA anytime during the year.

yes, still in Sac and can't wait to get out of here in December
fukk it, Hayward>Sac
shyt, Emeryville>Sac
I'm dying out here. the only place in the Bay Are that Sac might be getter than is San Jose, Morgan Hill, Gilroy area and the Inland Constra Costa Area that are further from the water
and LA has to improve their public transportation for me to put it over the Bay personally. I did go too far with the Philly thing though. I agree with you with DC.
cap ?
y’all just had an elected official - a 300 pound whale of a Mexican woman caught on tape of saying “fukk him. He’s with the blacks” & used her power to disenfranchise black people in her district and that’s who y’all elected.
miss me with that cap shyt…
sounds like you have inferiority complex syndrome
Jay said is the best …. even in your own videos you’ll be number two
its still a solid percentage of ADOS here … and for the record the overwhelming majority of black immigrants that migrate to NYC take on ADOS culture - so I have no idea how you can compare them to LA Mexican/Central Americans
